The Deep End of the Ocean: Watch Online

During her high school reunion in a crowded hotel lobby, Beth Cappadora’s 3-year-old son Ben vanishes. Police are called to the scene as a frantic search begins but it is unsuccessful, and Beth experiences a nervous breakdown. Unable to cope with her devastation, she unintentionally neglects her other two children, Vincent and Kerry.

The Disappearance

After nine years, the Cappadora family has seemingly accepted that Ben has gone forever, when a familiar-looking boy turns up at their new house offering to mow their lawn. He introduces himself as Sam Karras, but Beth becomes convinced that he is Ben. She alerts the police and an investigation begins.

The Revelation

Beth discovers Ben was kidnapped at the reunion by Cecilia Lockhart, a mentally unstable woman who was an old classmate of Beth’s. She brought Ben up as her own child until she took her own life five years later. Ben, now Sam, had since been living with Cecilia’s husband George who adopted Sam after they met, believing the child was hers.

The Reintegration

Sam is returned to the Cappadora family but the attempted reintegration produces painful results for everyone, so Beth and her husband Pat eventually decide to return him to his adoptive father. Their marriage suffers as a result over time and they begin sleeping in separate beds.

One night, Vincent, now a troubled teenager who is distant from his parents, leaves the house during the night and ends up in jail after a drunk driving incident. Beth and Pat discuss his erratic behavior with Candace “Candy” Bliss, a detective in Ben’s case who became a family friend, and Candy reassures Beth that Vincent loves her. They eventually reconcile their relationship.

Reconciliation and Forgiveness

Sam visits Vincent in jail and reveals he has remembered something from before his abduction; he was playing hide and seek with Vincent and got stuck in a trunk, but Vincent found him, which made him feel safe. Sam calls him his brother and asks if they can be friends.

Pat later bails Vincent out of jail and, one night, finds him playing basketball outside with Sam. Vincent, who has carried guilt for not watching Ben at the reunion, letting go of his hand and telling him to get lost, is forgiven by Sam. Sam tells him he has decided to move back to live with the Cappadoras. They play a game of basketball, stating the loser has to carry Sam’s remarkably heavy suitcase into the house. Beth and Pat, reconciled, watch happily from the living room window.
